PGA of America makes the USA Captain choice. Since I am not a member, I have no idea how much "input" is solicited. Also, as noted by this Euro pick, the isn't a "requirement" that their Captain has a Major win to qualify, since Mr. McGinley has not won a Major. In the US, a Major victory is required.

I have seen nothing but praise from the Euros so far on Mr McGinley's selection. He was/is a "players player," so I'm sure he will resonate in that regards. While he never won a Major, he was a tough competitor in the Ryder Cup, so he knows how to win in the format.

As long as the Euro's still have great players on the team who have not won a major, like Rose, Sergio, Poulter, Westwood and Donald along with Rory they could fill out the team with hackers and compete. McGinley will be a fine captain.

Maybe the USA selection process should e re-examined in light of the US record of one win in the past six Ryder Cups. Maybe players enthused about their captain will play better for their captain. Chemistry is but one component of many in creating victory, but a vital one, in my humble opinion...
